Feds bring criminal charges after anti-Israel rally; DC prosecutors let some misdemeanors go
Fox News
Federal prosecutors charged at least eight individuals with crimes related to anti-Israel protests in Washington, D.C., during Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu's address to Congress.
Jake Gibson is the Fox News Department of Justice and Federal Law Enforcement Producer.
The U.S. Attorney's Office in Washington, D.C., has charged Frederick Coates, Crow Momamome and Antonio Somerville with attempting to carry a dangerous weapon. Zachary Kam was charged with two counts of assault on a police officer. Nathaniel Lawrence, Sonia Krishan and Roger Miller face charges of attempted theft. And Essa Ejelat has been charged with threats related to the protest.
There were also numerous people arrested Wednesday who will not face charges at this stage of the investigation. The D.C. attorney general’s office was presented with 11 cases that were "no-papered," meaning the charges were dropped. Three of those charges were for crossing police tape, five for "disorderly conduct – inciting violence" and three for "disorderly conduct – causing unreasonable fear," all misdemeanors.
